NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised; the required disclosure is shown below. However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice. It should not, therefore, be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.

For 2015/16 - based on 1 full time and 7 part time GPs who worked in the Practice for more than six months - the average was £85,415.

For 2016/17 - based on 8 part time GPs who worked in the Practice for more than six months - the average was £81,838.

Figures are before tax and National Insurance.

Locum Doctors

The practice employs locum doctors, some of whom work at the surgery on a regular basis. All locums will have been through a recognised vetting process to check their suitability to practise.

Nurse Practitioners

We have three Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs), who all provide cover for the urgent same day duty appointments.

Our ANPs have been qualified nurses for many years. They all have a background in emergency care (Southampton Emergency Department) and urgent unscheduled care (Southampton Walk-In Centres), prior to their roles in general practice.

They have all undergone extensive post-registration training in history taking and physical examination, and all hold independent nurse prescribing qualifications.

They are competent and well-qualified to see the majority of same day urgent presentations, and are able to assess, examine, diagnose and treat patients of all ages and conditions. They are also able to refer on to other services if appropriate. They work closely alongside the duty GP, in managing a very busy same day service.

URGENT SAME DAY DUTY APPOINTMENTS

The duty team usually consists of a GP and one or two Nurse Practitioners.

Urgent same day duty appointments are for patients who feel that their condition is urgent and requires same day assessment. Patients can call the surgery and ask for a same day appointment or, if they would like to discuss their concerns, they can ask for a telephone appointment with the duty team and they will be called back.

Nurses

We have a team of practice nurses and practice nurse assistants. They have all undertaken further training enabling them to work within the practice and continue to update their knowledge on an annual basis.

You may book an appointment with the nurses for such services as:

Foreign travel clinics

Other services include:

Practice Management

Mrs Iris Pilgrim

Business Partner (Practice Manager)

Mrs Eveline Moore

Patient Services Manager

During the past few years, the practice has grown and continues to do so. We now have circa 12,000 patients and an increasing number of clinics to deal with the demands of the NHS today.

Our Business Partner and Patient Services Manager head a team of trained receptionists, secretaries, clerical and computer operators. All of them are here to assist you; each will endeavour to help with any non-medical aspects of your care.

Each member of the practice team is bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the doctors.

Community Midwives

If you think you may be pregnant, arrange to do a pregnancy test via a kit purchased from the pharmacy. If your test is positive, make an appointment to see your doctor who will then refer you to one of the community midwives. Please ensure you make the receptionist aware that you need a first antenatal appointment with the doctor.

The midwife will then make arrangements for your antenatal care. This is usually shared between the midwife, the GP and in some cases, a consultant obstetrician.

Community Nurses

The district nursing team consists of qualified registered nurses and a specialist trained care assistant. They provide skilled nursing care, following an assessment of the individual’s and carers/family members’ needs, to housebound people in their own homes or in residential care.

The district nurses provide specialist community care, which includes the management of wounds, continence, chronic disease, various acute illnesses and cancer. Subsequently, they also undertake many nursing procedures such as dressings, administration of injections, ear care, bowel care and investigative tests. This care is provided in close partnership with the individual, their family/carers, the GPs and allied health professionals and agencies.

The majority of the district nurses’ work takes place in the patient’s own home/residential home.

The district nurses can be contacted on 02380 428488 - Monday to Friday, between 08:30 and 16:30.

Health Visitors

Health visitors are qualified nurses with additional training in child and family health. They advise on a variety of health related issues, but they work mainly with parents, carers and children under the age of 5 advising on all aspects of a child's well-being and development.

Nursery nurses work with the health visitor. Nursery nurses have a child care qualification and the health visitor may refer a family to the nursery nurse for management of various problems, for example – behaviour, sleep or toilet training.

Community staff nurses are qualified nurses, who support the health visitor with many aspects of the healthy child programme.

The health visiting service hold Child Health Clinics on the following days:

Every Wednesday between 09:30 and 12:00 at Totton Community Centre

Every first Tuesday of the month between 09:30 and 11:30 at Mulberry Community Centre, Marchwood
